Analysis of the Use of International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health to Support Diagnosis According to Icd 11

Abstract

Background: Studies show that diagnosis (ICD-11) alone does not predict service needs, length of hospitalization, level of care or functional outcomes. The presence of a disease or disorder is not an accurate predictor of receipt of disability benefits, work performance, return to work potential, or likelihood of social integration. ICD-11 gives users an etiological framework for the diagnosis classification of diseases, disorders and other health conditions. By contrast, International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) classifies functioning and disability associated with health conditions. The ICD-10 and ICF are therefore complementary, and users are encouraged to use them together to create a broader and more meaningful picture of the experience of health of individuals and populations. This study aimed to determine the results of using ICF to support the diagnosis according to ICD-11. Subjects and Method: This was a literature review with the keywords : “ ICF ” AND “ ICD-11 ”AND “p hysiotherapy ” AND “ICF case studies ”. Online articles were searched from electronic databases, including PMC and PubMed. Results: ICF had been used for physiotherapy cases of ICD-11, including musculoskeletal disorder, stroke, shoulder pain, autism spectrum disorder, and vertigo. The types of examination and treatment included pharmacological, non-pharmacological, physiotherapy, MRI/ MRA, X-ray, ultrasonography, Hawkins-Kennedy test, arthroscopy shoulder investigation, electro myelography therapeutic methods applied behavior analysis (ABA), therapeutic methods, and treatment and education of autistic and related communication handicapped children (TEACCH). The application of ICF in physiotherapy plays a role in restoring the patient's condition, such as reducing pain. The problem was that there was no platform that standardized the incompetent officers in using ICF. Conclusion: The overall obstacles in the use of ICD-11 and ICF in all countries have been emerged due to the limited socialization to the coders and the lack of policies applied by the government. Health workers are suggested to write down the diagnosis and completeness of the patient's medical record so that it is legible, complete, and clear, as a reflection of the quality of health service.
